World-renowned illustrator and artist Kim Whitesides kicked off the 2013 Virgin Valley Artists Association Brown Bag Lunch series Tuesday with a slide show he narrated of his amazing work spanning some 50 plus years.

The 71-year-old artist told his audience of more than 40 in the Virgin Valley Art Gallery that his work and style has evolved through several mediums over the decades including graphite drawings, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, oils and oils mixed with egg tempra, which he uses today to create works reminiscent of the Old World Dutch and Venetian masters.
